great! can you sort the search by popularity? example: torrent-site, piratebay is the populary, or?

shopping, can you add geizhals.at? (good german price-site)

can you add a function, if the user search for:
moviename torrent
see the user links to search on torrentsites, with the searchsting, but not the word torrent.

and: if the site domain is one of the in the script, hidde from the bar. i hope this is possible.

I have made some changes in response to jayleecn's comment however I am unable to test this myself since I only speak English. Any comments relating to the script's support for languages with non-latin/non-roman characters would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, maybe you can change "escape" to "encodeURI" and "unescape" to "decodeURI", then this script will work better with some Asian languages, such as Chinese.

Hi Rolli,

I don't see why it wouldn't work on Google for you. Do you have any other scripts or extensions that affect Google that may be causing it? Have you tried reinstalling the script? Does it work on other Google sites (like google.ca or google.co.uk)?

The link you gave is the same link I use as a shortcut for searching Google and it works fine over here. It even works when I click on your link.

Its a great script and it works fine for all search engines apart for Google for me.
I use http://www.google.com/search?q=%s
Why is your script not working on any of my Google search sites?
Do you have an idea?

Thank you for the script. A few small changes I made in my local copy are :

1) Added one conditional for del.icio.us

else if (m=location.href.match(/del.icio.us\/(tag|popular)\/([^\/#\?]+)/)) { q=m[2]; }

2) Added option to close on pages like Google Video where the bar obstructs the controls

d.innerHTML = '<a href="javascript:closeTTSO();">X</a> Find ...

and then towards the end

var s = document.createElement('script');
s.language='javascript';
s.type = 'text/javascript';
s.text = 'function closeTTSO(){try{document.getElementById("mySearcherBar").style.display="none"}catch(e){}}';
head.appendChild(s);

Thanks for writing it.
